Caring Like Christ: Part 1

Caring Like Christ is a mini-course designed for God’s Church.

Here’s your chance to preview it! The Caring Like Christ mini-course has four parts; it trains ministry leaders and people in the pew in the basics of biblical counseling. This mini-course is part of our larger 24-session Foundations in Biblical Counseling training course.

Part 1: Biblical Shepherding

Jesus took the time to care about people and to minister to their souls. Why was He so effective and what principles does the Bible teach that can guide us in helping others? The general principles of biblical shepherding will guide you no matter what kind of problems you encounter.

Biblical shepherds intentionally follow the pattern of Jesus as He interacted with his people. The gospels record many different conversations that Jesus and his disciples engaged in with those around them.

The Part 1 training video is below. At the end of the post are notes that go with the video. You may download them for personal ministry use.
